I for one enjoy Billy's ministry. I have felt like the Assembly his message was the keynote word for that meeting. I will miss not hearing him.

I to enjoy Bro. Billy's preaching, but I am excited to see some changes this time.

For our Jude2 "Billy", I'm so sad to hear you are not getting to come to the IA..you will be missed at all the J2 gatherings!

educated christains!!!!! amazing.

and by the way pianoman, his preaching is a diffrent world than the vos broadcast.

I'm not disputing you. I've been priviledged to hear him minister on numerous occassions. That was my thinking as well.

But - it used to be called Voice of Salvation (now the satellite guide lists it as Billy Wilson Ministries & the web calls it World Impact) - and it's shown primarily on religious networks. What's the purpose or mission of the program? To further educate Christians so they can be part of the exclusive Bride of Christ? If this is the case - the internet is much cheaper & more appropriate for this purpose.

If you pull up the VOS webpage - it states, "this ministry will now provide a platform for the International Center for Spiritual Renewal to pursue its purposes on a much broader scale .... this ministry is moving to an even broader kingdom thrust at the Center while still serving our historical ministry family in the Church of God of Prophecy.”

What exactly does this mean?

I'm in no way personally familiar with the folks putting the program together - and they may be getting thousands of letters a week from folks whose lives have been touched because of the program. If so - Praise the Lord and I won't question it again.

Sorry if I hijacked. I do enjoy Bro. Billy's preaching - but agree with Mr. Danger - our church especially enjoyed the sermons of 2 pastors from the field last year. We downloaded & had a special viewing at the church & the folks couldn't stop talking about them.

I just haven't personally been impressed with the World Impact Program. Curious how many of you watch it on a weekly basis?

Well, I hear the overseer tried to get Ron Hamm to preach but the church couldn't afford him.

dajudge.....thank God you got the sarcasm and threw it right back!!! :lol:

I don't think I will be approached for sharing too much any time soon.....

Just a hunch on my part....

i'm quite certain the assembly will hear from Bishop William Wilson in some form or another.

it means that cogop sold vos. thats what it means. we turned it over to a ministry that has nothing to do with cogop. or i should say the international office gave it away. anyway thats what that is about. but the direction of vos has been educational for years. and no, i dont like it as much as i would if he was preaching crusades on tv, but thats the way it is.

It means that CoGoP no longer has the funds to support this ministry...As I understand it from Bro. Wilson the funding for VOS will gradually end (not sure about the time frame) and VOS will/is having to generate all of its funding.

I wonder how many on this board support VOS through monthly donations?
